How to Copy Emoji, Symbols, Arrows, Stars and Currency Signs

Typing special symbols on a keyboard is awkward: a heart, a check mark, a degree sign, the taka sign ৳, the euro €. A picker lets you click and copy instead of memorising codes.

Quick answer

Choose a group, click the symbols you want to add them to the box, then press copy and paste into a message, document or social post.

Groups available

• Smileys and hands for chat and posts.
• Hearts and stars for decoration.
• Arrows for instructions and diagrams.
• Maths signs: ±, ×, ÷, √, ≈, ≠, ∞.
• Currency signs: ৳, $, £, €, ¥, ₹.
• Common marks: ✓, ✗, ©, ®, ™, °.

Steps

1. Open the tool and pick a category.
2. Click each symbol; it appears in the box.
3. Press Copy.
4. Paste where you need it.

Where they work

Messages, email, social media bios, documents, spreadsheets and most web forms. Some very new emoji may appear as an empty box on older phones that lack the font.

Tips

• Emoji colours and styles are drawn by the device, so they look different on iPhone, Android and Windows.
• In a formal document, use symbols sparingly.
• For a username or search field, test the character before saving; some sites block symbols.
• For ৳ and other currency signs in Excel, paste into a cell and format it as text.
